Is it a problem to have a harem in a stranger heroine?

It is useless to hide everything. Temporary concealment is for the current situation. Honesty is the best way to gain feelings.

Even if it's a harem plan, I'll tell the girls one day.

Bai Ye turned the camera to his face and spoke seriously with a calm expression.

"I was just video chatting with Kato-san."

"Oh?"

There was no surprise on Shiyu's face, as if she had already expected the answer to be Kato Megumi, and there was a hint of admiration on her expression.

"Xiaobai-kun is quite honest, isn't he? How dare you speak openly in front of me?"

Chapter 173 Physical Examination, Summer Comic Con, Book Signing

Don’t dare to be honest in front of Shiyu?

Bai Ye said that it didn't exist. The more it was at such a time, the more he had to appear calm. If he appeared panicked, Shi Yu would be more likely to think that there was something fishy, and then something that didn't exist would become true.

There was nothing shameful in the conversation he had just had with Kato Megumi. If Shiyu made something up out of nothing, wouldn't he be at a huge disadvantage?

Now it is a game of momentum, and also part of the battle of brains in love.

Does Shiyu think that “whoever confesses first is the loser”?

Putting aside the strange thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind, Bai Ye concentrated on chatting with Shiyu.

"Just chatting with Kato about tomorrow's club activities."

"What about tomorrow's club activities?" Shiyu's eyes tilted slightly upward to the left, a micro-expression of reminiscing. "Did Ethics-kun notify us of the club activities tomorrow?"

"No, um... I want to talk while I cook. Will it be noisy?"

"Go ahead. I don't want Xiaobai-kun to use hunger as an excuse to do something messy to me in the future."

Bai Ye paused.

"Don't just drive through the screen. Are you so confident?"

Shiyu smiled at each other, changed to a more comfortable sitting position, with her upper body lying on the table, looking like a cat lying on a cushion and relaxing its vigilance.

"Watching Xiaobaijun cooking live is a very novel experience~"

Bai Ye moved lightly, trying not to make too much noise to disrupt the conversation.

"I'd rather chat while eating. That's when you, Shiyu, envy me, not me being envious and jealous now while I'm hungry."

"Hmm~ Xiaobai-kun is really mean~~"

"Let's not talk about this for now." Bai Ye said while washing vegetables, "Is there any new message in the chat group? There is no message notification when the video is on."

"Let me see……"

Shiyu opened the chat software on her computer and looked through the chat records of the past few days.

"He didn't say anything, and there was something very strange."

"what's up?"

"Sawamura-kun didn't ask about club activities either. He was so active before, so why is he so silent today?"

Bai Ye's cutting movements suddenly stopped, then returned to normal.

Shiyu noticed this small change keenly, and her eyes immediately turned over with an inexplicable power.

"It seems that Xiaobai-kun knows something?"

Bai Ye was also drunk. Why couldn't even the slightest change escape the girls' eyes? It was the same whether he was facing Kato Megumi or Shiyu.

Are the girls I like some kind of freaks? Are their eyes so sharp?!

"I heard that Sawamura-san has been busy with his painting lately, so maybe he just didn't remember it."

"About painting..."

Shiyu pondered for a few seconds, then remembered something and a double smile of amusement and joy appeared on her face.

"Xiaobai-kun, did you know there's a summer comic convention during the summer vacation?"

"What could I possibly not know?"

Bai Ye understood instantly, and Shiyu also knew that Eriri was a "book painter", otherwise she would not have shown that expression.

"Would you like to go together then?" Shiyu invited.

"I have no problem, but Shiyu you..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"There will be so many gentlemen present. A delicate girl like you, Shiyu, won't you be afraid of being eaten alive?"

"(?ω?)hiahiahia～～"

The silver bell-like laughter lingered for a long time. Shiyu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and finally held back her laughter.

"Xiao Baijun's intention is to make me say, 'I'll rely on you for protection then,' and then legitimately take my hand and put on a stunning display of affection for the gentlemen present?"

He received Shiyu's teasing and understood something more.

In her words, Shiyu has completely put herself in the position of "girlfriend", otherwise she would not use terms between lovers such as "holding hands" and "showing affection".

"Is this forcing a confession?"

Bai Ye was unclear about the confession, but at least Shiyu gave up on tracking down Eriri Sawamura and really thought that she had forgotten for a moment.

"Xiaobai-kun, are you eating hamburger steak again today?"

"Last time you ate half of your steak sandwich, how could I satisfy my craving?" Bai Ye glanced sideways.

"I only took two bites, okay? Anyway, I have a physical exam next week."

"Yes……"

The conversation between the two was temporarily interrupted by the sound of the steak popping in the pan, and Bai Ye also got a brief time to think.

The fact that Eriri remained silent today was naturally his masterpiece.

He didn't think that what happened on Wednesday was enough to win Eriri's true heart, but it wasn't a complete waste either. It should have been the one that touched her repressed heart.

If I'm not mistaken, Eriri is currently caught in an emotional dilemma, torn between the "past" represented by Tomoya Aki and the "present" represented by Byakuya.

The key to the turning point is the summer comic exhibition two months later.

As for the significance of the harem plan, the girls must not know about the existence of the "harem plan" at least before the summer comic convention.

After taking the perfectly fried hamburger out of the pan, Bai Ye turned around and looked at Shiyu, whose eyes never left his.

"By the way, how's the progress on volume three? Don't even mention your last summer vacation in high school, where you're forced to stay home all day with only paper, pen, and tears to keep you company."

"Don't worry~~" Shiyu pointed the camera at the computer and scrolled the wheel several times before reaching the end. "The progress is very good. There is a large book signing event this summer, and the editor hopes that I can attend. I will finish the third volume before the summer begins."

Bai Ye breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that Shiyu would be delayed in the progress of "Love Metronome" because of "Flash Girl".

"That's good. I'm looking forward to Teacher Kasumi Shiko's masterpiece."

"Hmm~ When it's finished, do you want to be the first to read it, Xiaobai?"

"Please, I also want Kasumi Shiko-sensei's autographed work."

"That depends on your hard work. The line at the last book signing was really long~~"

Shiyu was very happy. Being needed by the person you love is one of the happiest things. Her crystal red eyes could hardly suppress her attachment to Bai Ye in her heart.

Her body trembled slightly, and she couldn't wait to finish the third volume, then hand it to Bai Ye personally, waiting for him to read it with expectant eyes.

Even with the example of Tomoya Aki before her, she was still willing to do this and pour all her emotions into the book.

Because she understood that Bai Ye would not escape and would definitely respond to her love.

"Xiaobai-kun, I have some inspiration that I want to write down, so I'll leave it at that for today. I don't think there will be any notices for club activities tomorrow, so everyone should stay home and get busy."

Bai Ye noticed her excitement and waved at the screen.

"Yeah, bye. Remember not to stay up too late. Next time when we hug, I'll see your dark circles under your eyes, which will really ruin the atmosphere."

"Humph, you scoundrel~ Don't you even think about who I'm doing this for?"

The scene finally freezes on Shiyu's reluctant eyes. Bai Ye turns off his phone, brings dinner to the coffee table, and calls Xiao Mi who is playing downstairs back home.

Throughout the dinner, his mind kept turning between "Love Metronome", Shiyu, and the book signing event.

"The book signing is a good opportunity..."

Chapter 174 Morning, Kato Megumi, Hug and Touch, Lunch

Sunday, sunny with light breeze.

As of yesterday noon, Aki Tomoya had not announced any club activities and rarely spoke in the chat group. No one knew what he was doing, and the club members had not mentioned any club activities.

So, the chat group spent Saturday in eerie silence until Kato Megumi sent a good morning greeting at 9 o'clock on the weekend morning.

Good morning, everyone.

[Good morning, Kato. You're up early today!]

[Good morning, Aki-kun, because I have to go out soon.]

……

An hour later, Kato Megumi sat on Bai Ye's bed with her arms crossed, her cheeks slightly puffed, looking a little angry.

Standing in front of her was Bai Ye, who was sleepy, with messy hair and an apologetic look on his face, like a naughty child who had made his mother angry.

"Senior, what about the 10 o'clock appointment? I knocked on the door for 5 minutes, and you're still sleeping."

"S-Sorry..." Bai Ye couldn't argue, so he could only scratch the back of his head and keep smiling. "I stayed up too late last night and forgot to set the alarm. I slept so soundly that I didn't even hear the doorbell. But this doorbell is too old, and the volume is not even as loud as Xiao Mi's cry."

Kato Megumi smiled helplessly and stroked the little girl curled up on her knees.

Of course, she wasn't really angry. After knocking on the door for five minutes without getting a response, she was just worried.

She stood up and put Xiao Mi down. She turned Bai Ye with her hand and pushed him towards the bathroom.

"Senior, go wash up quickly. You're being so secretive and not letting me know what you're going to do today. Will you delay our work?"

"No, no, there's plenty of time."

……

Bai Ye came out of the bathroom, wiping his wet hair. Just as he was about to pick up the mobile phone on the bedside table, he found that the quilt was gone.

Looking up, the balcony was wide open. Kato Megumi was wearing an apron and was struggling to lift a quilt, dragging it bit by bit to hang it on the clothesline that was taller than her.

The morning sun shines on her, and the breeze blows her long hair.

The scene before him made Bai Ye suddenly feel that her back had become mature and taller. Unable to resist the impulse in his heart, he stepped forward and hugged the charming girl in his arms, gently sniffing the girlish fragrance in her hair.

"What is my Xiaohui doing?"

Kato Megumi was startled by the sudden warm breath blowing on her ear, and looked back with a reproachful look.

"Senior, I can't dry the quilt like this. The weather is very good today. The morning time has been delayed a lot. If it's any later, the sun will set."

"Xiaohui, you are very good at housework~~"

Even so, Bai Ye was unwilling to let go.

He is not a rational person. On the contrary, he is quite emotional and easily moved by small things. However, sometimes he has to suppress his surging emotions for the sake of the overall situation.

When you get off work and return home exhausted, without hearing anyone say "welcome home", and the corridor in front of you is dark and empty, loneliness and sadness instantly permeate your heart.

But when you open the door to the living room and find that someone you care about and who cares about you is busy at the stove, the touch brought by the gentle glance back is enough to dispel all tiredness and pain.
